I think the way this story can be portrayed could be a sad love story that has to have a sad part because what if this is real and more than likely back in slavery days this act was not permitted. Interracial love was forbidden, this was an act of heart full love. The second poem that I have compared “Country Lovers” to was written by What It's Like to Be a Black Girl (For Those of You Who Aren't) Patricia Smith (1991).

The short story has mental images that the reader is able to put him or herself into the life of a young black girl. Comparing these two different stories was not difficult, because the stories...
